Brough Castle

Arts, science and history

Brough Castle near Kirby Stephen, was built in the 1090's in one corner of the remains of a Roman fort. It was one of the first stone castles to be built in Britain, and some of the walls show the herringbone pattern typical of Norman masonry. A good place to explore the Cumbrian countryside.
